The food business has a long range of types of food operations. For example, it can be a business at home bakery or a large restaurant. There is catering, bars, food trucks, hot dog stands etc. All food businesses need a reseller permit because prepared food is taxable.
Since a food business is prepared food, then you must charge taxes before selling it – unless you sell it wholesale. In either case, you will need a wholesale ID also called a resale license to sell the cupcakes wholesale, buy the wholesale or sell them retail in small amounts. This is because any type of prepared food, is a taxable sales event when it takes place.

In some cases, each one of these is a different fee and it can be $100 or more. After that, they will let you do business in selling food from a restaurant, cart, home or your truck.
• Note that in order to sell prepared food, you will need to obtain a sellers permit tax ID Number, a business license application -- we will find, complete the application and provide you with the steps to get your food business license.

Sidewalk and Street Vending

A hawker is a street vendor of merchandise that can be easily transported; he is like a peddler or costermonger. In most states where the term is used, a hawker or street vendor sells items or food that are native to the area but it could be flowers, food, or merchandise. Whether stationary or mobile, hawkers usually advertise by loud street cries or chants, and conduct banter with customers, so to attract attention and enhance sales. When accompanied by a demonstration and/or detailed explanation of the product, the hawker is sometimes referred to as a demonstrator or pitchman who normally work for a company.

Start a Vending Business
Small business vending licensing information
Starting a Vending Business is perhaps not difficult or easy. I did this before I became a lawyer. The challenge was to get the location to put the vending machine. Sometimes I had to go talk to the store owner many times before they let me do it. Opening a small business, whether it is a vending business or home business, requires a business license and a resale permit.
Vending Business License
First 100% of all businesses need a business license and because vending items whether food, carbonated drinks, or other items, are taxable, so you will need a resale license. If you call your vending business with a trade name, such as “Ultra Vend Robber,” or something similar, you will need to register the fictitious business name within 30 days of starting a vending business.
Should You Form an LLC or a Corporation?
If you think someone may sue you for food poisoning from eating a vending food item, you may want to form an LLC or incorporate. If you do, you will not need to file a DBA vending Business fictitious business name.
Vending Business Employer Tax Registration
To start a vending business, you will also need a federal tax id number and a state employer number if you will hire any vending workers. Finally, the first thing to do is to submit your business info so we can file your business license.
Process of Getting Vending Business Licenses
After we file, it, depending on your location, and depending on whether you keep refrigerated food vending items in your home or garage, an inspection will follow but it is not always required. Meanwhile, we will be getting the sellers permit and the fictitious business name AKA DBA doing business as name certificate and you may save $100 or more for filing one. Then you will be ready for opening the vending business.

A(n) Sidewalk and Street Vending business using a DBA Doing Business As Trade Name in
Pinellas County
, i.e., starting businesses using a company name other than the legal (given name) owner's name, need a(n) DBA Doing Business As Trade Name Registration.

Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID.
However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a
business tax ID number. However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting
a federal tax ID number.

Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in
Clearwater, Incorporate in FL or form a(n) FL LLC
If you will set up a corporation or form an LLC, you will not have to file a DBA (Doing Business As) unless your corproration or LLC name will be different that the busienss name you will trade under.
Businesses that use the full legal name of the owner as a business name do not need to register an assumed business name. So, for example, your name is "John X Doe" and you use that as a business name.

If you do form an Sidewalk and Street Vending llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Sidewalk and Street Vending business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba),
it will help you avoid legal and financial personal liability arising out of business transactions and you will not have to register the Clearwater business name.
Instead of filing a Pinellas County fictitious business name (our service fee includes dba business name filing and legal paper publication) you can elect to incorporate in
FL or form an FL LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws and LLC operating agreement)..

You can start your CLEARWATER business with just $56466 or $517482 that depends on your budget. Starting your business in
CLEARWATER PINELLASCLEARWATER, 33755 calls for some numbers: it has about 26061
residents, though only about 11362 families in this zip code area of the state of Florida.
In addition, consider getting a(n) 727 telephone area code to increase reachability and
and identifiability. Nevertheless, you will need a place to set up your business
and a place to stay or you can also buy a house (about $80500 avergage value) , which
you can use as a home based business as well. Your physical address in CLEARWATER will be
your business address. For Instance, your business address could be 529 CLEARWATER Hwy/Blvd or 55TH Street/Ave or
CLEARWATER, Florida 33755. You can use a 33755 P.O. Box address as your as
your business mailing address. E.g. P.O Box

starting any type of business. Briefly, there are about 17482, caucasians,
2953 latinos, and 6466 African Americans in the 33755 zipcode area. Another consideration
is targeting your prospects income level to advertise for your new business. Each family here makes
about $33258 per family and has about 2.23 persons per household. Considering weather conditions, take note
that the elevation is 29 feet, and you are in 5 time zone.

A: If you want more business credibility in the business market, you may want to form an LLC instead of a DBA. For example, if your trade name is.
deCarlostch , Inc.Co.
requires a fictitious business name registration, which also requires a fee to be registered.

Registering a fictitious business name does not protect that name nor does it protect the business owner from personal liability related to business actions as setting up a limited liability company (LLC) does.
Our recommendation that since you need to pay a fee to register the business name, simply form a limited liability company (LLC) for a similar fee and get both corporate status and protection for the name as well as personal liabilities.

So, for instance, if someone slips and falls in your business premises, they can sue you personally if you are not a limited liability company (LLC).

Also, consider the prestige that a limited liability company (LLC) affords. Is a name like John's Transmissiona shop better than AEMCOO TRANS, LLC?

Q: I am just one person. Do I Need an LLC?A: Even if you are just one person owner, you can form an LLC (Limited Liabiliity Company).

Q: Do I need an EIN for my LLC? A: Yes, you will need an EIN for your LLC to do your LLC taxes and open an LLC bank account.

Q: Do I need to file a DBA if I form an LLC? A: If you form an LLC and you do business as the LLC name, you don't need a DBA. For example, your LLC name is "Ultra Super LLC," and your business name is "Ultra Super LLC," you don't need to file a DBA.

Q: If I set up an LLC, will the LLC help me protect my business LLC from creditors? A: Yes, actually, only an LLC can help you protect the LLC from its creditors especially if you have another partner member owner in that LLC.

Q: Do I need to obtain a federal or state tax ID number before forming a limited liability company (LLC) or getting other licenses?A:

Q: How do I build credit under my LLC business? A: Start by applying for a line of credit for your LLC from your bank if you already have some personal credit.

Starting a Business From Home
A home business or an online home-based business, regardless of type, including an online business from home, needs all licensing as any other type of business, such as a commercial store.
That includes home, or online internet businesses that sell home-made homemade crafts, gifts, etc. or other merchandise or equipment stuff.
What Is A Home Business?
A home business (or "home-based business" or "HBB") is a small business that operates from the business owners home or his home office.
In most cases, a home business employs few workers or employs family members to do the home business tasks.
Can I Compete With Big Businesses?
Because of the available technology, home businesses can have comparable to big businesses business equipment such as faxes, high speed internet connections, dedicated home telephone lines, and cell so they have nothing left to be desired except perhaps a store front because it is not permitted from most residential zoning restrictions.
Licenses and Tax Registrations Required
Even if it is a home based business operated from home online having an internet website, it will need licenses such as a business license and a DBA to register the business name as well as other tax IDs such as a seller’s permit id if it sells taxable items.
For example, after the Boston Bombings, in April 2013, a Marathon Runner, Jane, quits running and starts an online business selling pressure cookers from home. She will need at least a sellers permit to buy the cookers wholesale and sell them retail collecting sales taxes.
Can I Use My Home Address As a Business Address?
In general, a home or online business owner can use his home address to obtain licenses and tax ids as required to run his type of business from home. Whether online, from home or home based business, you can be successful running one and perhaps make big profits from it. Amazon started as a home business.
